Tekken 7’s latest major event, TWT (Tekken World Tour) 2023 concluded in the form of the Tekken World Tour 2023 Global Finals in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A, with Arslan Ash keeping his title as the reigning champion once again.
The top 3 spots were taken by Arslan Ash and South Korea’s CBM and ULSAN. The Pakistani gaming hero played 5 characters throughout the tournament including his signature Kunimitsu, Zafina, Nina, Noctis, and Katarina.Â
The grand finals came down to CMB vs Arslan Ash where Ash brought out the unexpected Katarina against CBM’s Noctis. The set ended 3-1 in Arslan’s favor, but the rounds were close throughout the entire series of matches.
Arslan won a grand prize of $50,000 as the victor while CBM and ULSAN took home $13,000 and $6,000, respectively.
Last year, Arslan’s victory in EVO Championship made him the first in not just Tekken 7, but all of Tekken’s history to take 4 EVO trophies, which is considered the biggest fighting game tournament throughout the world.
